What are visual resources?

Visual resources refer to collections of images, videos, slides, and other visual materials that are used for teaching, research, and reference purposes, especially in fields like art, architecture, and history. These resources can be physical, like slides and photographs, or digital, such as online image databases and digital archives. Visual Resources professionals manage, organize, and provide access to these materials, ensuring they are catalogued and preserved for future use. They also assist students and faculty in finding and using visual content for academic projects and publications.
